Chapter 487: To Dongning
Everyone's eyes were all focused on Lin Lao's body, Lin Zhengxin put down the cigarette pouch and pot, straightened his waist, and said with blazing eyes: "Since Yuan Chen wants to invite Ye Heng to a banquet, and Lu Changkong also wants Ye Heng to see him, then we will let Ye Heng go to Dongning City!"
No one answered, although everyone knew that there was no good wine and no good banquet, but since Lin Lao had decided so, there must be a reason, so they all waited for Lin Lao to continue.
Lin Zhengxin continued: "If they dare to let Ye Heng go, they will inevitably have something to rely on, if Ye Heng doesn't go, in their opinion, not only are we afraid of them, but they will also be used by them, saying that we are thieves with weak hearts and ghosts in our hearts, and we are afraid that we will not be able to wash it away even if we jump into Dingjiang at that time!
"Just go, no problem! With us old guys here, even if Yuan Chen and Lu Changkong want to do it, they have to weigh it carefully!"
Lin Lao nodded to him and continued: "Bring another team of elite soldiers, the movement should be big, not only let the two of them know that our leader is fearless, but our team is equally strong, that is, in this way, tell them that our 50,000 army is not easy to mess with!
"Well, in this way, firstly, it can protect Ye Heng's safety, and secondly, even if they want to make a move, they will be jealous!" nodded in approval.
"For the sake of safety, everyone sent their own elite disguises to Dongning City, secretly protecting them just in case, it's okay if they don't do it, if they really dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool, then let them bear our thunder rage!" Lin Lao said again.
"In the rivers and lakes, we don't cause trouble, we want to be stable. However, the matter has come to us, and we are not afraid!I want to see what these bastards dare to do to us who dare not show their weapons to the ghosts!" said the leader of the Thunder God Army without fear.
"Of course, our Lin family will not stay out of the matter, we will also send people to Dongning City, however, Yuan Chen has been sending people to keep an eye on our Lin family recently, if we send a large number of people over, I am afraid that we will be startled. Lin Lao also stated the position of the Lin family.
"The Lin family has done their best to fight against the ghosts, this is to protect the peace of Jinzhou, Yuan Chen, as the city lord of Dongning City, should be very grateful, is this wolf-hearted thing really going to be unfavorable to the Lin family?" Guang Li Tou asked with an unkind expression.
"I suspect that Yuan Chen and Lu Changkong are both members of the Shadows, otherwise the situation in Golden State should not have become the way it is now. In addition, according to the information I have obtained, the groups of the people who spontaneously organize to resist the ghosts will be suppressed and eradicated by the government under various pretexts, and this kind of thing should not happen, unless the government and the ghosts are in the same group, and they are secretly colluding with each other to suppress and suppress the groups and forces that resist the ghosts!" Ye Heng said with great certainty.
"Although our Lin family has no conclusive evidence to prove that the two of them are colluding, from all indications, the two of them are indeed in cahoots!" Lin Lao nodded in agreement.
"In that case, let's follow Lin Lao's advice, I'll go to Dongning City to meet these two people for a while, and see what kind of medicine they sell in their gourds!" Ye Heng said proudly, the artist was bold, and he didn't worry about his own safety at all.
Ye Heng agreed, but Lin Lao was a little unnatural, unconsciously clenched the cigarette pouch pot, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Don't hide it from you, I also have a certain selfishness in making such a decision, if Ye Heng doesn't go to Dongning City, you 50,000 horses are stationed in Lugou Village, Yuan Chen and Lu Changkong will never dare to come rashly, even if they have an excuse to trouble Ye Heng, it will be a matter for the future, but if Ye Heng doesn't go, they will definitely turn their heads and deal with our Lin family." In terms of the strength of our Lin family in Jinzhou, although it will not be completely wiped out by them, it will also hurt its muscles and bones, and its vitality will be greatly damaged. Therefore, letting Ye Heng go to the appointment also means to save our Lin family from disaster, the old man said it openly and honestly here, that is, he doesn't want everyone to be suspicious of each other and affect unity;
"Lin Laosan, you have talked about this, if we doubt that your Lin family's intentions are too inauthentic? I think you just have too many concerns, your Lin family's strength is obviously stronger than the Chen family in Jiangnan on the Longmen list, but now it is being forced by the Chen family, why is this? I see, it is your Lin family that is too cautious, lacks the courage to make bold moves, and is afraid of wolves and tigers, resulting in the overall strength of your Lin family still not improving qualitatively after so many years!" said the bald Li bluntly.
Lin Lao smiled bitterly and nodded, and Lin Qingshuang on the side answered: "Uncle Li is right, so the future of our Lin family is all on my husband, he is strong Lin Jiasheng, he is weak Lin Jiaqi, any decision he makes, our Lin family is unconditionally supported!"
All the leaders looked at Lin Qingshuang and were impressed by this woman's courage and courage. Of course, they don't think that Lin Qingshuang is just talking, they know the situation of the Lin family, Lin Qingshuang is almost designated as the next head of the family, if she hangs the rise and fall of the Lin family with Ye Heng, it is completely possible. Lin Qingshuang said such words at this time, and at the same time further tied the Lin family and the forces of Lugou Village together, and everyone would not be estranged because the Lin family was the force of the Yingtian Empire. After all, the current coalition forces are all forces north of the Dingjiang River, and the Shuntian Empire and the Yingtian Empire are still in confrontation, and the Lin family wants to unite with them to fight together, if everyone's concerns are not eliminated, it is really difficult for all parties to cooperate sincerely. That's why Lin Lao and Lin Qingshuang will continue to emphasize their positions, this is not unnecessary verbosity, but they really need to erase each other's estrangement.
"Okay, let's prepare, let's leave early tomorrow morning, let's go to Dongning City to meet these two human-faced beast-hearted things for a while!" Ye Heng said.
Early the next morning, the five hundred wolf cavalry were ready to go, and although they had experienced many battles, it was the first time that they had appeared in the city. In order to deter the enemy, Ye Heng decided to show his hole cards, he believed that even if the 10,000 Dongning army wanted to stop him, these 500 wolf cavalry could still fight their way out of the encirclement and return to Lugou Village smoothly.
The Red Flame Wolf King turned into his main body and acted as Ye Heng's mount, his majestic body and fiery red hair set off his majesty and fierceness. Several celebrities looked at such a lineup, and at the same time, they were only full of envy.
If the people in the rivers and lakes knew that the Fengbing Pavilion had such a background, there would inevitably be a place for it on the Dragon Gate list! Looking at the members of the Wolf Cavalry, they were all rising stars around twenty years old, even if this team was not renewed, it would be able to last for at least a few decades. This is a team with great potential, in the future rivers and lakes, who would dare to underestimate the Fengbing Pavilion? Wasn't the high-ranking Taiyin Sect exterminated by Ye Heng? Based on this, it can be inferred that Ye Heng and the Fengbing Pavilion led by Ye Heng can rank, and everyone naturally has a fair judgment in their hearts. Fortunately, several of their forces are now friendly with Ye Heng, and even if there is a change of power and ranking change on the Longmen list in the future, it will not affect them.
Those who have a gap with the Fengbing Pavilion, or those who have grievances with Ye Heng, the Taiyin Sect has ended, and there are the Murong family and the Jiangnan Chen family, whether these two forces can maintain their power and status depends on whether the chaos in the Shuntian Empire can be resolved. Once the war subsides, if Ye Heng insists on making trouble with these two forces, these two forces are likely to face annihilation!
Ye Heng gave an order, and the five hundred wolf cavalry headed towards Dongning City, and several famous old men who were going to accompany them shook their heads helplessly, and then they rushed away. This cannot be blamed for their slow movements, their horses and a pack of wolves gathered together, and it would be good if the four hooves of the wolves were not frightened and fell to the ground, where would they dare to walk with the wolves? Even if they set off together, the speed of these horses could not catch up with the wolves!
Along the way, the wolf cavalry quickly reached the outside of Dongning City.
The city walls of Dongning City are high and very majestic. Whoever wants to take the city will have to pay a heavy price, with flags hanging high and strong soldiers and a wide moat surrounded by sharp iron tools erected in the river.
The gate of Dongning City was wide open, and there was a group of soldiers on each side, and three soldiers were checking the people entering and leaving the city gate, and their leader was drinking tea in the tea shed not far from the city gate, and looked up from time to time to look at the situation at the city gate.
Those sensible vendors, before passing through the city gate, will come to the tea shed to take a turn, filial piety to the chief to order tea money, in and out of the city gate is naturally unimpeded, there are those who carry a lot of things and do not come to show some meaning, will be stopped by the soldiers, taken aside for inspection. No matter how you try to defend yourself, they can always find something wrong, either they are carrying dangerous items, or they may be fugitive suspects, or they are not allowed to enter or leave the city gates, or even take them away for interrogation.
For such a thing, the common people have long been surprised, and privately call this behavior "collecting tolls". Originally, there was no such charging behavior before, since Yuan Chen became the city lord of Dongning City, I don't know whether he instructed or acquiesced, the soldiers guarding the city gate began to collect fees for the people in and out of Dongning City in different ways, especially after the frequent activities of the ghosts in Jinzhou, more and more civilians came to the city to avoid trouble, and the fees they charged were getting higher and higher. It even slowly evolved into an unwritten rule, which was compiled into limerick poems by the common people, jokingly saying: In and out of Dongning City, spend money to buy passages, there are roads with money, and there is no money to cross the city. Its meaning is similar to "I opened this road, I planted this tree, if you want to cross this road, leave to buy road money".
For the latter, you can resist or escape, and for the former, what can you do but pinch your nose and admit that you are unlucky? For the rich, they don't care about this fee, and the powerful don't have to pay this part of the fee, only the powerless and powerless people have to hand over this fee ten out of ten, if you don't pay it, you can't do it, you have to go home, right? Unless you are angry and never leave Dongning City, or never come to Dongning City again, otherwise, you have to suffer, who makes you speak lightly?
